Obama to Surpass Expectations

By Noah

At a recent political rally in Austin, Senator Obama said when he is the Democratic Party nominee, his opponent won’t be able to say he voted for the war because he opposed it. Obama criticized Clinton on her vote with the president on war powers and lobbyist ties. Obama has promised to end the war in Iraq and within 16 months bring all the troops home. He wants to continue the fighting against the al-Quida in Afghanistan. Obama has also promised to reform health care within his first term if elected. He slashed at Clinton for using the political strategy of “triangulation.” Now all three Clinton, Obama, and Edwards are so close at the polls it is hard to tell who will come out on top. Obama cites principles, not calculations and poll testing should be on the minds of Democrat contenders. Obama appears to be leading in Iowa with 30% of the poll’s vote.

The U.S. has formally announced a date for Mideast talks. The meetings begin Nov. 27th and the U.S. has invited 49 countries with key Israel and the Palestinians scheduled to attend the important Washington peace talks. Great news considering we have not reached serious peace negotiations with them for seven years. Bush will open the meeting with a speech from he, the Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Praying that Russia and Saudi Arabia attend, President Bush remarked at the importance the talks would hold if the key countries participated in the meetings. If all will attend then further negotiations will ensue providing the conference tackles the tough issues. (The Palestinian State and a Palestinian-Israeli peace resolution.) Good news concerning past reluctance.

Bush claims Hillary can be beaten at the races by a tough Republican candidate. He says Hillary will probably win the primary and be nominated, because she is experienced in politics and is not scared to play hardball against opponents. Bush has hailed her on occasions and believes she can understand the klieg lights and withstand pressures. Bush also feels she has the best national presence, which means Hillary will be able to raise the most money. Hillary feels this weird obsession with her that the GOP feels means that she is communicating effectively about the presidency. They must be onto Hillary. Better wait to see what Edwards and Richardson will do come horn blowing time.

What will the Republican Party do next now that the President is becoming increasingly more interested in involvement in this race? Will Mitt Romney stay on top of Giuliani, or will he pull forward as Governor Perry suspects? Chances are everyone might be surprised.
